Went to 3-4 clubs last night. Security line was long, got patted down, multiple guards, metal detectors. I thought it was gonna be wild.

I was awestruck by the contrast in at least 2 clubs. The servers were in lingerie and had their ass and tits out (and I mean this positively because that’s the only good thing I can remember from my night out), Lil Jon and all the other club classics were blaring. Guys had on jeans and a tshirt and maybe a trucker hat or baseball hat, while their girlfriends were much more elegantly dressed. But regardless they just stood around or played cornhole.

The last one was a bit more high energy, but it was just people facing the DJ and vibing to it like a concert.

I don’t dance or anything either. I only went to maintain the illusion of being normal and social. But it was somehow even more awkward being around a bunch of awkward people than if everyone was dancing.

I don’t know. I was expecting it to be like the music videos with people dancing around the floor and mixing and mingling with each other. Is this normal in the US?

How to have fun at a club:

Step -1: pick a club with music you like, e.g. I only go to the goth club when I go*

Step 0: put in foam earplugs (they are very loud! Protect your hearing!) and put on a respirator (covid never ended! Protect your internal organs!)

Step 1: be carried away by the music into a dancing frenzy

If you don't have step -1 down then it will not be fun.

(I don't, the goth club is run by assholes who crank the speakers up too loud for even earplugs to make safe and bearable, and they turn a blind eye to rampant predation and assault)
